The left-leaning Jewish Daily Forward goes all-in to defend Footie Pajamas Boy, by accusing the right of “a centuries-old nexus of anti-Semitism and misogyny.” (Link safe; goes to Hot Air. I’m not rewarding a Website extra traffic for trolling the Interwebs):
In fact, Pajama Boy stands at a centuries-old nexus of anti-Semitism and misogyny. As scholars including Sander Gilman and Daniel Boyarin have shown, Jewish men have been accused of being unmanly for hundreds of years – including by other Jews, such as the early Zionists, whose muscular Judaism was a direct response to diaspora Jewish emasculation. This is an old, old motif.The Jew is the Other is the Effeminate is the Liberal. He is the urbanite, the parasite, the usurer, the lawyer. His effeminacy corrupts the Volk or the Heartland or the real American values. ....
Really, what’s “metrosexual” about Pajama Boy, anyway? The fact that he’s wearing pajamas? Drinking a hot beverage? No – it’s the way in which he so perfectly fits the Right’s image of the liberal Jewish girly-man. There’s a real “masculinity,” and then there’s whatever it is that Pajama Boy is embodying. .....

Jewish?! I thought he looked Italian!
I never thought for a second that he was Jewish. I never gave it any consideration and I wouldn’t have cared.
I find it repulsive someone is playing victim. We’ve got enough victim -Americans already.
You’re joking, aren’t you?
“it’s the way in which he so perfectly fits the Right’s image of the liberal Jewish girly-man.”
Jewish ain’t got nothing to do with it.
Unfortunately, American Jewry is represented in Congress and on C-Span and in the MSM by the likes of leftist rats like Schumer, Bloomberg, Weiner, Spitzer and a host of others.
I certainly didn’t and don’t assign any religious tag to Pajama Boy. He is the penultimate example of the perfect liberal, amoral and secular. He is only bested in this category by the One, the Messiah (or that Islamic equivalent), the Hussein Obama.
I am being sarcastic. Forgot to post /s.
You’re right. The comments are good.
I assumed he was Jewish the first times I saw him, but detected no anti-semitism in the mocking of him as a model pushing Obamacare. I am surprised it took so long for the left to take this tack, though.
It’s hard to take any twenty-something intellectual dude serious. Oh, they took some classes, got a certificate of sorts, talk with seven-dollar words, and have some ability at debate. For them....it’s all merely a debate...nothing beyond that in realistic gains.
Fox, CNN, ABC, the Washington Post, the New York Times....all have these twenty-year-old punks. Some talk of their brief four years at Georgetown as being an ‘eye-opening’ experience, or they talk of the fine thesis they wrote for professor So-v-So.
I kinda appreciate the reporters and journalists we had of the 1930s and 1940s....who toured the country...spoke to real people in Topeka, Tombstone, and Red Bay. They didn’t have debate skills....waltz with some Yale professor...or sip gin with intellectual types in some jazz club on the East Side.
It’s a lousy atmosphere for people to survey commentary and gain insight over the events across the nation. Sometimes...we have some dimwit talking of life’s unfairness, then talking up the great wonders of redistribution. You’d like to ask a dozen questions about their long-short life, their travels across Idaho, and how they afford to live in a $4k a month apartment in Manhattan.
I guess I’m old, and expecting too much.
Then there are greats like Mark Levin, Arron Klein, David Horowitz, others, on the right.
Glad to hear that. I’m half Italian! Lol.
This writer needs to get a clue: Obama still hates Jews, no matter how hard they try to suck up to him.
The people who follow this belief (‘We Have No Morals, and We Will Attack You’) had better learn to start shutting up and fearing for their safety — in preparation for the day when the people who do have morals stop putting up with this crap.
If it is engaged in by other Jews, is it not reasonable to question whether Jewishness is even relevant to the criticism?
It's the pro-American, pro-Israel Jews that far leftists like Obama despise. They don't have too much problems with the commie "intellectual" types.
